So there is a short tutorial video on the official Casio YouTube page. At the beginning of the video, the guy shows how to program a beat using steps, and then how to do it live. But when I do what he does the only result I get is a demo playing when I hit the play button. I have been able to figure some more advanced stuff out like changing sounds on a pad but I can't get anywhere with the most basic function of making my own beats. Both the printed manual and the pdf manual seem to breeze over the basics.

Yeah, I already downloaded that pdf. Still seems like some basics are missing. Guess I have to go buy whatever kind of usb cord wasn't included with the unit so I can hook it up to a computer.

I picked this up yesterday and the manual doesn't seem to be all that helpful. I can't seem to find much as far as tutorial videos either. How do I make a beat? Can I edit a sample I import? I really don't have much experience with this type of gear but is it just me or could they have done a much better job with the manual? It seems like it jumps over a lot of core basic stuff.
